The moment Qiao Jingjing stepped back onto the summit of the sacred mountain, the space returned to calm, and everything returned to its original position, as if nothing had happened.

A sudden, intense spatial fluctuation made Qiao Jingjing's heart tighten.

She looked down at the ground beneath her feet and discovered that the originally bluish-gray rocks had turned a vibrant emerald green.

"Get rich! Look!" she exclaimed, pointing to the ground.

Fa Cai flapped its wings and approached to examine it: "Master, this...this is the aura of a spirit field!"

Qiao Jingjing crouched down, her fingertips lightly touching the ground, and immediately felt the familiar flow of spiritual energy. To her astonishment, the two thousand square meters of spiritual herb cultivation area that had originally existed within the token space was now perfectly integrated with the summit of the divine mountain!

She strode towards the center of the mountain peak, where the once barren rocky ground had been transformed into fertile black soil. The boundaries of the spiritual field were outlined with pale golden spiritual energy, and it was surrounded by a naturally formed spiritual stone barrier.

Even more miraculously, a spiritual spring spontaneously formed at the edge of the mountain peak, with clear spring water flowing along the spiritual energy channels, automatically irrigating this newly grown spiritual field.

"Master, the spatial laws have been upgraded!" Fa Cai excitedly circled above the spirit field. "This spirit field can now absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and grow autonomously!"

Qiao Jingjing walked into the field and found that not only were all the medicinal herbs that had been planted preserved, but each one was also radiating unprecedented vitality.

She squatted in front of a century-old Vermilion Fruit and was pleasantly surprised to find that the surface of the fruit was shimmering with seven-colored light—this was a top-grade spiritual fruit that could only be nurtured in the core of a spiritual vein!

Suddenly, she noticed a peculiar change in the middle of the field: a crystal sapling, completely translucent, had sprouted from the previously empty area.

The saplings are only half a person tall, but each leaf looks like it was carved from ice and jade, exuding a refreshing chill.

"This is... the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Soul Spirit Tree?" Qiao Jingjing reached out to touch it, but was repelled by a powerful cold force.

The fortune plant landed on her shoulder, nervously saying, "Master, be careful! This should be a new spiritual plant born during the spatial fusion; its aura..."

Before the words were finished, the entire spiritual field suddenly glowed with a silvery-white light, and all the spiritual herbs simultaneously emitted halos of various colors, weaving into a magnificent network of spiritual energy in the field.

Qiao Jingjing had a sudden inspiration and threw the "Heavenly Secret" token into the air.

The token transformed into a stream of light and entered the crystal sapling. The sapling instantly emitted a dazzling blue light and slowly grew taller.

When it stopped growing, Qiao Jingjing was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually a fully mature Ice Soul Spirit Tree—transparent as glass, with nine ice crystal-like fruits on its branches.

"Master, this tree..." Fa Cai stammered excitedly, "It...it purified the entire space!"

In other words, anything produced in this space can have a health-strengthening effect on ordinary people.

"Alright, I'm very satisfied with what I've gained on this trip. We should head back now. There are many things in the capital that I need to take care of when I get back."

Fa Cai stared at Qiao Jingjing with a mischievous grin and said, "Master, you're so cunning. You clearly just want the male master."

"I've told you before, watch less TV. You're a seven-colored phoenix now, you need to live up to that status."

After giving the pet a flick on the forehead, the two of them went back to the courtyard house and ate something.

During dinner, Qiao Jingjing took out her phone to check her bank balance. The eight zeros stood out neatly, making her overjoyed.

I'll find some time to go back to China and have a good time, hehe, that would be great.

While she was eating, a strong wave of nausea surged up, and Qiao Jingjing turned pale. She covered her mouth and rushed into the bathroom.

After vomiting, she leaned against the sink, looking at her slightly haggard reflection in the mirror, feeling a mix of emotions.

Seriously? They've only been married for a little over a month, haven't even had a proper time together as a couple, and she's already going to be a mom?

Finding the pregnancy test she had stockpiled, the second line was faintly visible. Undeterred, Qiao Jingjing changed into modern clothes and teleported back to China, where she went to a hospital for an ultrasound.

Looking at the two blurry yet real little bright spots on the ultrasound report, my fingers unconsciously went to my abdomen.

"No way... this is happening way too fast?" Qiao Jingjing's lips twitched. "What happened to our supposed time together as a couple? What happened to being able to act like a queen for a few days after becoming the crown princess? And now she's pregnant?"

Dejected, Qiao Jingjing returned to her room and slumped onto the sofa, lost in thought.

Fa Cai, accompanied by his three little ones, sidled up to them and said in a cheeky tone, "Master, are we going to have a little master?"

"Ah."

Qiao Jingjing had mixed feelings. Of course she liked children, but the arrival of the child was too sudden, and she was not prepared at all.

She worried that having a baby at such a young age would be bad for her health, and at the same time, she worried that she wouldn't be able to be a good mother. The four little ones, on the other hand, were immersed in the excitement of having a little master soon.

"Great, Master! Let the baby be born quickly so it can play with us. We promise to take good care of our little Master."

Haha, when Fa Cai looks back on today's scene three years later, he will realize how rash he was, so rash that he would want to slap himself twice.

The candlelight flickered in the imperial study, where Tantai Zhou was bent over his desk reviewing memorials, his brow slightly furrowed. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Qiao Jingjing swaggered in with Fa Cai by her side.

"Tantai Zhou." Her voice was cool, yet tinged with a hint of amusement.

Before Tantai Zhou could even process the surprise of Qiao Jingjing's return, he saw the woman walk straight up to him and slam an ultrasound report onto the pile of official documents.

"I am pregnant with twins."
